No, no, no. It's the same with "yum clean metadata" already. You
clean the cached repo metadata files, and the next time you run Yum,
you are assigned to a different mirror that carries older/same/newer
contents, which in turn influences the results you see.

There is really no reason to delete cached packages in addition
to deleting cached metadata.
